About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is overflowing with creative energy or feeling discouraged by a lack of expensive art supplies. Ashley Bryan transforms beach glass, bones, and discarded items into soulful puppets, teaching children that art is a way of seeing the world rather than just buying materials. Through rhythmic poetry and vibrant photography, it celebrates the intersection of African American heritage and the boundless imagination. This book is perfect for elementary-aged children who love to build, tinker, and find stories in the everyday objects around them. It serves as a gentle reminder that we all have the power to create beauty from what others might consider nothing.
